Morning before exam and i've never written a practice essay.. God help me :(

[bm124]

@Kbanasko I never play that game- could be any of them so you really need to know them all. Hope the videos help with this though!

[Kbanasko]

@bm124 yeah im learning them all.. i just hope WWTL and vultures do not come up.. also do you have any where i can read A/A* example essays.. please reply asap, what format would you suggest for paragraphing and structuring

[bm124]

@Kbanasko Go with Intro, comparison of structure, comparison of language (x2 if time), conclusion and talk about themes and feeling throughout; simple! The sample paragraph in my video on comparing poems is A* standard if that helps?

fuck me the music is annoying

@muntimun1 I know- sorry but not a lot I can do about it. First video I made and I was just messing about really. It is better if you use headphones though...
